Answer 1

Talk to your odctor. this sounds like serious behavior that needs to be addresses by a therapist and your pediatrician.

Answer 2

Get this child to your pediatrician right away. For the safety and well being of your younger child and you as a family. This little boy needs help. They should not be left alone for a moment if there is a chance the older could physically harm his brother.

Take him ASAP, for his own good. This child is in serious jeopardy.

Answer 3

Maybe you should get him some counseling. I know that sounds kind of crazy, but it may help. It's normal for the older ones to be jealous but it seems like yours is getting a little out of control. You need to nip it in the bud now before it really gets out of hand. Get some professional help

Answer 4

I agree with Daybreak. This sounds like a more serious problem than a jealous brother.

Answer 5

i'm not a medical professional, but i would have to say maybe try being more positive in situations, and maybe more one on one with you might help, you know plan a certain activivty everyday that is just for him, hope it helps and good luck...
